The article evaluates the activities of 340 clusters in the cotton-textile, fruit-vegetable, leather-footwear and other sectors based on statistical data. A comparative analysis of the cluster models of Italy, Germany, India and China is presented. The competitive advantages of Uzbek clusters, existing problems and the development strategy for 2025-2030 are highlighted. The results of the study show that the cluster model is a promising direction for the effective use of local raw materials, increasing export potential and increasing labor productivity.
